The vendor won't give us any way to access the machine and retrieve the DB, so I removed the HDD and connected it to my Linux laptop. I was able to grab all the DB files and copy them to my Windows desktop, where I then installed PostgreSQL 9.0 (to match the version that was on the server) with pgAdmin III. I changed the default directory to the folder containing the DB files using this tutorial: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Change_the_default_PGDATA_directory_on_Windows
I would try installing postgres on linux, and try running it with a copy of this data directory. skip the pgadmin thing entirely as its just another layer of obfuscation, stick with CLI tools.
